We all had to deal with it when we were in elementary and middle school. It was focused on helping us learn how to take effective notes. And now it has expanded! With the advancement of technology, traditional educational elements have also evolved as well. With KWL, we knew, Wanted to Learn, and what we learned. But now, with the addition of questioning as well as sharing, the need for technology has become important in using KWLQS to its full effect. The chapter also showed how for KWLQS to work effectively, it needs adequate and proficient web site to back it up.
Since last class, I used Google for the first time. I had always been a fan of Yahoo! and had recently been frustrated with all the corporate websites that would magically appear in my searches. With Google, there is no sign of corporate presence nor are the searches altered in anyway. With Google, we as educators can search effectively for topics that pertain to us as well as gathered resources for lesson plans, and what not. Thus, Yahoo! has outlived its purpose. Google has arrived.
Did anyone enjoy learning more about Word? I absolutely loved it. It never really dawned on me how useful Word 2007 could be. It's unfortunate though that SAM doesn't show us how to navigate Word 2003. I, along with probably most of the world, operate mostly on Word 2003. Some of the tips and tricks we learned with 2007 would be great...if we only knew how to use them for 2003. Is there anyway we could learn this? I wish there was indeed a way.
